About MEDICA

MEDICA is one of the world's largest trade fairs for the medical sector and takes place every year at Messe Düsseldorf. It runs in parallel with COMPAMED, the international trade fair for suppliers to the medical technology industry, so that together the two events cover the entire value chain of medical products, from components and manufacturing technology to finished devices, diagnostics and digital health solutions. Hospital managers, physicians, laboratory specialists, purchasers, distributors and medical technology manufacturers from around the world come to Düsseldorf to discover what is new in outpatient and inpatient care.

Event Focus

Medical Technology | Electromedicine | Imaging & Diagnostics | Laboratory Technology | Point-of-Care Diagnostics | Health IT & Digital Health | AI in Diagnostics | Telemedicine & Remote Monitoring | Smart Hospital Solutions | Physiotherapy & Orthopaedic Technology | Medical Consumables | Hygiene & Infection Control | Components & Manufacturing (COMPAMED)

Event Highlights

5,300+ Exhibitors make MEDICA one of the largest medical trade fairs in the world. Alongside the exhibition halls, a programme of forums, conferences and special shows explores topics such as digital health, wearables, diagnostics and the hospital of the future. Start-ups present fresh ideas, and the parallel COMPAMED adds suppliers of components, materials and manufacturing services, so the whole chain from single part to finished product is represented at the same time on the same exhibition grounds.

Why Attend

MEDICA is where the medical industry sets its agenda for the year ahead. See new devices and technologies in action, compare suppliers side by side and talk directly to manufacturers about products for hospitals, practices and laboratories. Whether you are sourcing equipment, looking for distribution partners, scouting digital health solutions or following developments in diagnostics and AI, four days in Düsseldorf give you a concentrated overview of the global medical technology market. Together with COMPAMED, the visit is just as valuable for engineers and product developers looking for components and manufacturing partners.
